Default Vibration in gas pedal

Hello All

I have a 2011 RX350 and like car for the most part. Something strange I have noticed is that the gas pedal seams to have some little vibration when I am pressing it smoothly. My foot is constant on the gas pedal maybe 1/4 of the way down and it doesn't feel smooth like other vehicles. I have a 2014 lex IS250 and it doesn't have that vibration. Also had a 2004 RX330 and it did not have that vibration.

It is a slight vibration that ruins the luxury driving experience. Anyone else experience this issue?


Cheers

How long have you had it? If new to you I would first drive another RX to see if it is present on that one and thus common and just a new sensation on a new to you vehicle.
Also, how many miles are on it and when was the last service?

I've had it every since I bought it in May 2015. I'm not sure if this is common. Vehicle has 87,000kms and is due for an oil change service. I did an oil change at approx 82,000kms and there was no difference.

Anyone else with this concern or is it just "normal". It is just a slight vibration...enough not to make it feel smooth as other Lexus products I have had

To translate for others 87,000 kilometers is 54,000 miles.
Do you always change the oil that often? Does Canada have different requirements? In the US they call for an oil change every 10,000 miles (16,000 kilometers).
It appears you are changing it every 5,000 kilometers which is 3,100 miles and way too often even with non-synthetic oil.

Canada may have different requirements. They may consider it as "severe conditions" . I'm planning on going every 8,000kms (5,000 miles). Wife does a lot of short trips and stop and go driving.
